celling Posted November 4, 2008 #1 Posted November 4, 2008 Hello I found this site about a week ago hide in weeds reading everything. I seems to be a lot a people with good answers to tech questions so I have one. I bought a 2005 RSV in July, just getting back into riding really missed it. Put on about 5500 miles this summer. Now my problem, it will back fire out of left side when I get off the gas. I have had it to a dealer and of course it would not do it. They adjusted carb no help I am lost it still has great performance and fuel mileage. I can live with it but it makes the bike sound cheap when it does it and I don't want that. Any ideas? The other thing I read somewhere in here about a fix for squealing brakes cant find it back. Thanks for any help.Great site.

V7Goose Posted November 4, 2008 #3 Posted November 4, 2008 This is a very common problem with 2nd Gens. With luck you can completely fix it just by replacing the rubber caps on the intake vacuum ports. See my posts in this thread for lots more info: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27699&highlight=popping Goose
Freebird Posted November 4, 2008 #4 Posted November 4, 2008 Also, a GREAT carb sync. I can tell you that most dealers don't take the time to do it correctly or else they just don't care.

AlbertaClipper Posted November 4, 2008 #6 Posted November 4, 2008 Also, make sure your choke is completely off. My Venture backfired quite regularly until we discovered my choke linkage was bent which wouldn't allow the choke to come all the way off.
hipshot Posted November 4, 2008 #7 Posted November 4, 2008 if all of these suggestions don't cure your "backfireing" problems, you might want to cut back on BEANS! lol just jt:missingtooth:
Kregerdoodle Posted November 4, 2008 #8 Posted November 4, 2008 as far as your brakes go, mine made all kind of noises, changed them out to EBC pads and the noise is gone.. Good luck!!
